Abstract

In this paper we present the results obtained with the newly created standard SANC modules for calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to single top-quark-production processes in s and t channels at the partonic level, as well as to top-decays. The main aim of these results is to prove the correct work of modules. A comprehensive comparison with the results of the CompHEP system is given, where possible. These modules are intended to be used in Monte Carlo generators for single top-quark-production processes at the LHC. As in our recent paper, devoted to the electroweak corrections to these processes, we study the regularization of the top-legs associated infrared divergences with the aid of the complex mass of the top quark. A comparison of QCD corrections with those computed by the conventional method is presented both for top production and for decays. For s-channel production we give an analytic proof of equivalence of the two methods in the limit of low top width.
